Remote work-life balance

We are all guilty of trying to be everything to everyone…especially in the workplace. Long hours, short vacations, all equate to low energy and motivation.

As we continue with the virtual or hybrid workplace in our post-COVID era, we are now dealing with employee burnout which wreaks havoc on productivity. Whether you're an office clerk or a business executive, the risk of environmental burnout is still very real. Having a lack of stimulation outside of our home office is creating more depressed feelings for many of us. What can you do?

Studies are showing that remote workers who use the benefits of working anywhere that has good WiFi are helping those who have exhausted their mental capacity for remaining in the same four walls.

Some people are taking their virtual offices to the reaching corners of the earth or just to their neighborhood coffee shop a few times a month…or week.

For myself, a change in scenery could mean working from a friend or family member’s home. Maybe an intermittent work week on a cruise ship for the busier times with hard deadlines.

Whatever works best for you and your work-life balance work week…do it somewhere new, fun or exciting to bring back your mental health spark.
